Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Amendment Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • Creates an interest-bearing account for nonfederal funding contributions to a multi-state endangered species recovery program.
  • Affects Arizona, California, Nevada, and organizations funding the Lower Colorado River conservation effort.
  • Allows accumulated nonfederal funds to be spent without new appropriations, while interest earnings still require separate approval.
